Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Chappell Roan doesn’t do anything by half, and she brought a castle, dancing knights and lots of fire to her medieval-themed performance at the VMAs on Wednesday night.
She was Chappell Roan of Arc, if you will. Roan, wearing fake armor, her bright-red hair in pigtails, took the stage bearing a crossbow with its arrow on fire, aimed it at the castle, and then strutted across the stage singing her latest single, “Good Luck Babe!” She was surrounded by male dancers in fake armor doing synchnronized moves, and a set with a backdrop of a giant castle, full moon, and tall gates that ignited with real fire at the beginning of the performance. (Her band was playing further back on the stage, safe behind some low shrubbery.) Good luck to ME on being able to breathe after @ChappellRoan's #VMA debut performance of "Good Luck, Babe!".
